Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

If is doubtful that the requirements of the policy e.g. that the housing should remain affordable in perpetuity, can have any force in law. The explanation states that the housing should remain as affordable housing for local people in perpetuity, yet admits that the housing may be let to someone not fulfilling the criteria so it will not be left empty. This is a contradiction, it cannot be available for local people if someone else can have it because of a brief hiatus.
